The CLARA framework uses SOA to enhance the efficiency, agility, and productivity of data processing applications. Services are the primary means through which data processing logic is implemented. CLARA application services are running in a context that is agnostic to the global data processing application logic. Services are loosely coupled and can participate in multiple algorithmic compositions. Legacy processes or applications can also be presented as services and integrated into a data processing application. Services can be linked together and presented as one, complex, composite service. This framework provides a federation of services, so that service-based data processing applications can be united while maintaining their individual autonomy and self-governance. CLARA is a multilingual framework that supports services written in Java, Python and C++ languages.
